Abstract: Machine learning (ML) methods are widely proposed for security monitoring of Internet of Things (IoT). However, these methods can be computationally expensive for resource constraint IoT devices. This paper proposes an optimized resource efficient ML method that can detect various attacks on IoT devices. It utilizes Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM). The performance of this approach was evaluated against four realistic IoT benchmark datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively detect attacks on IoT devices with limited resources, and outperforms the state of the art techniques.
